Biography

Jacob came from Germany to Wisconsin with his parents, and married Johanna Schneider upon her arrival from Germany. They had, in all, twelve children. While the children were still quite young, Jacob was drafted into the Civil War. During his year of service, he fought against General Lee and his soldiers and helped bring a close to the Civil War and participated in the Grand Review in Washington D.C. He returned home to his farm life triumphant at war, but his children suffered, and all but three children died young, while he lived to the old age of 89.
